Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared to join real
American Indians Saturday when she partied maskless in defiance
of New Mexico’s mask mandate at Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s
wedding.
Photos obtained and published by the Washington Free Beacon
show Warren with the first American Indian cabinet secretary at
a tribal resort in a state where Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan
Grisham has reimposed indoor mask requirements regardless
of vaccination status.
A spokesman for the Interior Department wrote in an emailed
statement to The Federalist “guests were required to be vaccinated
and wear masks,” to be “consistent with CDC guidance
and New Mexico’s public health orders.”
But Saturday’s maskless celebrations, illustrated by photos
from the Free Beacon, mark the latest episode of Democrats
skirting restrictive COVID protocols imposed by their own
statist politicians within liberal enclaves of the country.
Gov. Grisham herself became the face of lockdown hypocrisy
when local reporting from KRQE News 13 at the onset of the
pandemic exposed her opening up a jewelry store to purchase
expensive jewelry for herself, after she had previously shut
the store down.
“We are in really tough financial times as a state,” Grisham said
a month prior to her purchase, when she lectured residents
to stay home and close their businesses. “It mirrors the
incredible, personal sacrifices that happen every single day
because people have limited ability to work, telecommuting
and many people in fact, have lost their jobs.”
Haaland, 60, married her longtime partner Skip Sayre over the
weekend at a wedding that the Associated Press wrote
“incorporated elements honoring her Native American ancestry.”
Sayre is an executive with the Laguna Development Corp., which
runs the gaming and hospitality services of the Laguna Pueblo
tribe to which Haaland belongs.
Warren claimed for decades that she was a member of the
Cherokee Nation. Before a DNA test in the run-up to her failed
presidential run, Warren cited her grandfather’s “high cheek
bones” as evidence of her ancestry which she claimed when she
taught law at Harvard. She was even featured by the university
as proof of expanding faculty diversity, and the student newspaper
referred to Warren as “the first woman with a minority background
to be tenured,” according to the Boston Herald in 2012. A 1984
Indian cookbook titled “Pow Wow Chow” also included allegedly
“Cherokee” recipes contributed by Warren.
Warren apologized for pushing the false identity after the published
results of her 2018 DNA test failed to prove she was a true descendant
of any American Indians, let alone a member of the Cherokee Nation.
The test merely showed “strong evidence” of ancestry from six to
10 generations ago, putting Warren’s bloodline anywhere from
1/65 to 1/1,024 American Indian.
In August last year, the Democrat Party included Warren on an
American Indian panel at the Democratic National Convention
(DNC).
